Unlabelled:
The goal of this study was to demonstrate that the size of the hybrid layer of the samples evaluated through the SEM procedure taken from three distinctively treated groups is significantly different. The study was performed in vitro for a number of 30 human molar teeth assigned in three groups, as follows: Group A, A1--the sealing was performed with H3PO4 37% with adhesive system Adper Prompt el Pop and photoactivated with halogen source (A) and plasma source (A1), Group B--no etching was performed and an adhesive system Xeno IIII was applied. The best results have been obtained by the Group A samples with an average size of the hybrid layer of 17.02 microm as opposed to 9.15 microm for Group A1 sample and 1.83 microm for the Group B sample (p < 0.05).
Conclusions:
The six generation of enamel-dental adhesives performs a weak conditioning of the enamel through the incapacity of efficient demineralization.
